Abstract

In this paper, a compositional model is proposed to calculate the phase behavior and the physical properties of condensate gases. Such a model is based on a very classical and easy to handle cubic equation of state coupled with correlations devoted to the estimation of the hydrocarbon physical properties. Moreover, to completely define the composition of the C20+ distillation residue, three distribution functions associated with the families n-alkanes, n-alkylbenzenes, and polyaromatics are introduced. The method developed in this work shows clearly enhanced results in comparison to previously published papers in the same area.
